Inserting code in this LaTeX document with indentation

Question

How do I insert code into a LaTeX document  Is there something like    begin code    Heading         end code    The only thing that I really need is indentation and a fixed width font  Syntax highlighting could be nice although it is definitely not required

A very simple way if your code is in Python, where I didn't have to install a Python package, is the following:

\documentclass[11pt]{article}  
\usepackage{pythonhighlight}

\begin{document}

The following is some Python code

\begin{python}
# A comment
x = [5, 7, 10]
y = 0

for num in x:
    y += num
    
print(y)
\end{python}

\end{document}

which looks like:

Unfortunately, this only works for Python.

Specialized packages such as minted  which relies on Pygments to do the formatting  offer various advantages over the listings package  To quote from the minted manual      Pygments provides far superior syntax highlighting compared to conventional packages  For example  listings basically only highlights strings  comments and keywords  Pygments  on the other hand  can be completely customized to highlight any token kind the source language might support  This might include special formatting sequences inside strings  numbers  different kinds of identifiers and exotic constructs such as HTML tags

Minted  whether from GitHub or CTAN  the Comprehensive TeX Archive Network  works in Overleaf  TeX Live and MiKTeX  It requires the installation of the Python package Pygments  this is explained in the documentation in either source above  Although Pygments brands itself as a Python syntax highlighter  Minted guarantees the coverage of hundreds of other languages  Example   documentclass article   usepackage minted   begin document    begin minted  mathescape  linenos  python     Note    pi  lim  n to infty  frac P n  d   title    quot Hello World quot   sum   0 for i in range 10    sum    i   end minted    end document   Output

Since it wasn t yet mentioned here  it may be worth to add one more option  package spverbatim  no syntax highlighting     documentclass article   usepackage spverbatim    begin document    begin spverbatim    Your code here  end spverbatim    end document    Also  if syntax highlighting is not required  package alltt    documentclass article   usepackage alltt    begin document    begin alltt    Your code here  end alltt    end document

Use listings package   Simple configuration for LaTeX header  before  begin document      usepackage listings   usepackage color    definecolor dkgreen  rgb  0 0 6 0   definecolor gray  rgb  0 5 0 5 0 5   definecolor mauve  rgb  0 58 0 0 82    lstset frame tb    language Java    aboveskip 3mm    belowskip 3mm    showstringspaces false    columns flexible    basicstyle   small ttfamily     numbers none    numberstyle  tiny color gray     keywordstyle  color blue     commentstyle  color dkgreen     stringstyle  color mauve     breaklines true    breakatwhitespace true    tabsize 3     You can change default language in the middle of document with  lstset language Java    Example of usage in the document    begin lstlisting     Hello java import javax swing JApplet  import java awt Graphics   public class Hello extends JApplet       public void paintComponent Graphics g            g drawString  Hello  world    65  95                end lstlisting    Here s the result

Here is how to add inline code   You can add inline code with   tt code   or  texttt  code    If you want to format the inline code  then it would be best to make your own command   newcommand  code  1   texttt  1     Also  note that code blocks can be loaded from other files with   lstinputlisting breaklines  source c    breaklines isn t required  but I find it useful  Be aware that you ll have to specify  usepackage  listings   for this one   Update  The listings package also includes the  lstinline command  which has the same syntax highlighting features as the  lstlisting and  lstinputlisting commands  see Cloudanger s answer for configuration details   As mentioned in a few other answers  there s also the minted package  which provides the  mintinline command  Like  lstinline   mintinline provides the same syntax highlighting as a regular minted code block     documentclass article    usepackage minted    begin document    This is a sentence with  mintinline python  def inlineCode a  ipsum    end document

Use Minted   It s a package that facilitates expressive syntax highlighting in LaTeX using the powerful Pygments library  The package also provides options to customize the highlighted source code output using fancyvrb   It s much more evolved and customizable than any other package
